Updated:10/8/21

31+ Healthy Pumpkin Recipes for October – That’s one new pumpkin recipe you can make per day this month! Whether it’s breakfast, snack time, lunch, dinner and/or dessert – there are SO many ways to use pumpkin. It’s kind incredible!

Healthy Pumpkin Recipes for All Occasions

I’ve gathered some amazing recipes from some awesome food blogging friends to inspire the pumpkin lover in you. I know it’s there – hashtag basic and we love it.

No shame in our pumpkin game.

Let’s give ’em “pumpkin” to talk about.

Pumpkin Baking Tips

Take this as your cue to have a fall baking day and use one of the many pumpkin recipes on the blog. We’ve got a few tips + tricks to make your fall baking day a huge success!

  • Freezing Leftover Pumpkin – Another option is to use ice cube trays to freeze the leftovers or smaller servings like a half cup each.
  • Pumpkin Spice Blend Recipe – Don’t have pumpkin spice blend on hand? It’s super simple to make your own with just four ingredients!
  • Baking with Canned Pumpkin – It’s important to note that not all canned pumpkin is created equal. Some like Libby’s brand tend to be thicker compared to Farmer’s Market which is often more watery. This can influence how a recipe turns out, so be sure to check the overall consistency.

    Baking with pumpkin is my favorite way to use it! Savory wise, I air-fry kabocha squash, a Japanese pumpkin, and dip it in ketchup or hummus. It’s the perfect snack or meal depending on how much I have! However, pastries can never do you wrong. Pancakes, waffles, muffins, bread, cake, cupcakes, pie, the possibilities are endless! I love this line-up of recipes. It’s so variable that I don’t even know where to begin!
